Super Easy Braised Eggplant in Garlic Sauce w/ Minced Meat 鱼香茄子 Chinese Brinjal with Pork Recipe

Eggplant, also known as brinjal or aubergine, has a mild, tender, and slightly sweet flavour similar to summer squash or zucchini. When cooked, eggplant absorbs the flavour of whatever it is cooked with and becomes meltingly tender. While eggplant isn't the healthiest vegetable, it is a good source of potassium, fibre, and antioxidants like vitamins A and C, which help protect cells from damage. Eggplant is also high in polyphenols, which are natural plant chemicals that help diabetics process sugar better.
